Plants form the basis of our diet. They are constantly being further developed through breeding in order to secure yields, generate new properties or adapt plants to the consequences of climate change. Companies protect their innovations and investments in plant breeding through patents and plant variety rights.
In this event, we will analyse and discuss the effects of patent and plant variety protection law from a legal, economic and social perspective.
Prior to the evening event, there will be a free guided tour of the exhibition "Agriculture and Food: Crop Production" at the Deutsches Museum (from 3 - 4.30 pm).
